Is anyone able to tell me their symptoms of metastatic cancer?
How did it start?
What were the first signs?
Were the first signs weak or strong?
If weak, what was unusual?
etc...
Thanks !!

Not me personally, but for someone I know it began as pain in the hip
bones bad enough to impair his bowling.
He lived for another 13 years or so.

need more information.......
i take you have pca?
if so, what your psa?
also, some history would be nice.
having seen this part, the pain usually starts in the lower back near
the hips as the nerves get pinched from the bones being attacked and
thinned out to where they can no longer do their job to support.
the pain starts out as a constant pain as the person stays in the
vertical position, whether they are in a wheel chair or sitting upright.
then, it gets to where it makes to difference what they do. laying down
- they still have pain.
they are go to stronger pain killers. codeine, and finally morphine.
the pain never goes away and becomes 24/7.
